Hey guys, MAINGEAR CEO here.. again :-). Idea for the gold Turbo happened after watching the gold controller video. We're already getting requests to purchase this gold Turbo, and frankly, it's probably not going to become a limited production Turbo. This was more of a prototype or experiment. Gold plating simply exposes every imperfection, and the inner panels just don't look as good as we'd like it to. Perhaps we'll sell it if we ever get the the plating to the point where we're happy.. but who knows! Just thought LTT crew would enjoy so we did it! Also, some quick insight into this configuration. We actually engineered a new APEX block specifically to make room for a thicker 280mm radiator, to ensure the 3090 and 5950x would deliver their full performance. It definitely pushes the boundaries of performance in a small for factor PC. For the record, there are only two units in existence.. LTT has one and I have the other :-) Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers! - Wallace Santos / MAINGEAR CEO

@@Xfade81 Im sorry for 13k you can manage that out of the box at least. If it was wavy thats one thing but the dint is so obnoxious with that mirror finish.
That looks AWESOME. Also, I love how rough Linus is with the gold controller now, compared to how incredibly careful he was with it when it was first made.
Maybe if you like gold. I think the gold is hideous. The gold accents on the inside actually look cool. The outside looks cheap and tacky, if it was matte black it would be beautiful
thats crazy about it being hot.. thats an extremely thick radiator.. i will say this though.. it REALLY like made me want to build a new rig.. I already have a fully custom watercooled computer and its pretty well built.. but this is super inspiring.
Don't you just love it when your controller disconnects, the game tells you as much, but *DOESN'T* pause the action while you're being shot at and trying to reconnect the damn thing?
It is pretty low, but as long as the loop flows as it should be, it won't effect the cooling capability of the loop significantly. I will reduce the thermal capacity of the loop, but not the cooling capability.
The Samsung galaxy Note 9 was the last phone to have it all, it's nice to see you still using it. I'm still using mine, and I don't want to change it. Too bad is not getting any more OS updates from Samsung.
As a car persona nd a PC person I can confirm, that is exactly what having a really cool engine is like... A really cool engine inside a Gold plated Bugatti Veyron.
The act of building a watercooled, gold-painted, Water-cooled PC while including a mechanical hard drive inside of it, is like hand-crafting a gem-encrusted-diamond ring, and then spraying it with dog shit and vomit.
I think an all-solid-copper setup would be even cooler personally, you could polish it equally prettily and it could be completely fanless with crazy heat dissipation. I think external fins would look cool too
Anyone else notice that at 2:33 you can see how the back panel has a dent above the right side of the grill cutout? $13k and gold plated dented back panel.
I got one of these a couple months back and all the reviews say that it has great cooling but all of them are water-cooled. Me only being able to afford a 3060ti and r5 3600 didn't really have the funds for a 1,000$ water-cooling upgrade. Well, it overheats after 20 minutes of gameplay with the side panel off. I have to run a box fan right next to it. Now I love the size and it was the selling point for me but it's very frustrating in the summer I've only had it since March so I'm hoping it doesn't persist in the winter and the side panel can go back on. Overall love the system just wish it wouldn't shut down if forget to turn on the fan.
For trucks- SCS software makes games like ets2 and ats with truckersmp being the multiplayer of both. For cars- playground games makes best game like forza horizon or motorsport

Since they very intentionally steered saying the component temps what exactly did they get too in your testing before you shipped it out.
Instead of gold plating it maybe you can make it with polished brass? It would look like gold but more robust.
@@Theinc0gnit0 brass gets weathered over time though.
@@Daggers21 From my experience the side panel isn't that thick and is prone to dents.

There's actually a perfect contrast of black and gold on this thing that it actually does not look tacky to me.
